Several popular resorts surround the peninsula of Bjarehalvon, between the bays of Skalderviken and Laholmsbukten. The medieval town of Bastad is now best known for hosting the annual Swedish Open tennis tournament, but it  also has beautiful old houses and glorious beaches. Must over 6 miles to the west is the old fishing village of Torekow. Boat trips run from Torekov to the nature reserve Hallands Vadero, a remnant of the Hallandsasen ridge now left 2 miles out to sea. Of special note is the alder marsh.

On the northern cape of the peninsula is Hovs Hallar, a geologically interesting area with dramatic rocks and caves. The area is a nature reserve popular with bird watchers and walkers.

West of Bastad along the coast is Norrvikens Tradgardar, a paradise for garden lovers created by architect Rudolf Abelin in the early twentieth century. There are several different gardens, including a Baroque garden and a Japanese garden.
